Im looking for a sponsor that carries the woven graphite handles in .980 ID / 1.1 OD........ Mudhole didnt have as many as I needed in stock and I need them before they will be getting more in.

These are the ones I need...

I need 3 12" pieces, if anyone has some or knows where I can get some in a hurry please let me know.

This may not help you, but you know you can make them yourself for pennies. And that way get whatever size you need.

Not meaning to hijack the thread. I apologize if it seems so.
Tom I seen where you made mention on this handle building before. I tried looking through the back issues of the Mag. Would you mind stating which issue it's in I would like to order this back issue

Mitch,
Utmost can get the Batson product to you right away. Also, look closely at the twill of both the Batson & Mudhole products. I believe they are slightly different so if
you are making matching sets ya don't need any mis-match.

I just posted a Steelhead rod in the photo section with the Batson WHGRY handle product so you can compare.

Tom,

Sounds interesting. I've tried several searches on the site, but can only find generalities about doing this. Could you please point me in the right direction for more specifics?

Thanks.

Dan

Just about any subject related to anything in rod building has been covered, or more often was originally unveiled, in RodMaker.
